** Marla realizes something's up with Stuart when he trades shifts with her, giving her two days off in a row, without blinking or showing any regret about it (he tends to not give anyone two days off in a row unless absolutely necessary). This spurs her to hire Cooper to spy on Stuart on the day of his interview for the district manager position.

He responds that he simply didn't hear him and actually knows what it is. Then Cooper talks with Val and confirms it's just a made-up word while we see Josh in the background already using it in conversation with Marla.

Even Stuart gets occasional comeuppances, including the end when apparently everyone outside of Crystal (who has been advised by Marla of what salary to demand to replace her as Store Manager) and Lunker quits, leaving Stuart high and dry largely without experienced staff to handle the liquidation.
